Its great to learn of lost towns missed. A reader, Debra F. wrote and told of Green Valley in Lyon County. Green Valley was seven miles north of Marshall on Highway 23 and two miles east of Highway 59. Debra lived in Green Valley in the late 1960's and early 1970's. She tells that the town had two stores, Mickey and Bills Bar, a post office, a Catholic Church and more. Most of the remaining buildings have been converted to private homes.

If you have a lost town to share please let us know and if you have photos to share, we'd love to see them.

Located in the remote wilderness of Itasca County, Togo is a nearly gone lost town. The site is 25 miles east of Effie Mn and in the George Washington State Forest.

The community once had a post office but is now served by Cook's post office. The post office and former store are a private residence as is the school building. The area is home to snowmobile enthusiasts. Also the Minnesota Department of Corrections operates Thistledew Camp, once a juvenile facility, now an adult facility.
